COMPLETE meltdown. COMPLETE lack of communication. NO LEADERSHIP! NO captain! No helmsman. A complete leadership vacuum! They're running around like headless chickens. They're in a panic. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Honestly... all I'm trying to point out is that if their campaign is this fucked up in how they're dealing with this current crisis (ie: losing the primaries) can you imagine what a Sanders administration would be like when they tried to handle the unexpected??

The people a candidate chooses to run his (or her) campaign, and how well that campaign is run (whether it's effective and efficient and honest and with integrity) is a strong indicator of how the candidate will govern if elected.

I think it's pretty clear given what we've seen all last week... a Bernie Sanders administration would be a chaotic mess.

Fri Mar 6, 2020, 11:51 AM

to run a nationwide campaign. Until he ran for president, Bernie's experience campaigning has been primarily in Vermont. Though he can generate excitement and draw large crowds, he doesn't seem to understand campaigning on such a large scale and he hired people who are inept and incompetent. It often feels like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

over months and months, but be puzzled. Do they not think like most people? I'm serious. Their candidate just released a commercial with President Obama in it. Is this a cruel joke? Is it their idea of gaslighting? What is it with these people, seriously? Does anyone understand this? Because I don't.

it shows Sanders' inability to manage his campaign and staff.

Being president is about a whole lot more than ideas and policies.

I'm not sure what she was really trying to say. Though I think her intent is to drive a wedge within the black community.

And the fact that Bernie used Obama in an ad before she made these comments make me question the coordination of his campaign. It's like the directive for the operatives is to attack and then check the facts later.
